I once bought an obviously fake Pokemon game off of ebay and was rewarded with the most misspelled and strangely inappropriate hack I have ever seen. It was glorious.
I have a fake Pokémon Emerald cartridge. The sticker on it looks low quality and rather dark and the E rating sticker (a rating system that is not used in my country yet I got it from a local shop) on it looks too bold. The cart itself is green but not translucent like the official. It seems to run fine but the save battery seems to be dead and it cannot save the game; useless.
Thankfully I do have a legit EU Emerald cart anyway.
